Subject: [Fot] race oils for TR6 & GT6

can those of you circuit racing your car, please let me know what engine oil
you are using.

I used Mobil 1 for years until the price got "silly" .also, it did not seem
to be keeping the engine as clean internally as I would like. . tried a few
locally made alternatives and nothing stood out as any better than the Mobil
1.

I tried Joe Gibbs Driven HR 15-50 today and it has not held up, with
pressure falling to almost zero on hot idle, despite oil temps not getting
over 90C (exact same as engine water)

thanks, Terry

The Brad Penn 20w50 or 15w40 are great in the TR3 I tend to.

And do remember that even the most expensive oils are cheap compared to =
an engine failure.
As are filters, change them after every race weekend.

Valvoline VR1, 20-50, Racing Oil. And add ZZDPlus for good measure.
Change it every 2 races, maybe 3, depends on track time.
Although I tralked with an oil expert about Shell Rotella T in farm =
tractors and Diesels; he said it was as good as any, better than most.
My 2 cents worth.
Another day in Paradise here, 75 and cloudless.
Cheers, Bill
